25 years ago I started to make animal feed at a time when the entire pet food industry seemed quagmire and focused on things like protein and fat percentages without any real consideration of the ingredients. Since the start of leather and soap could make a meal for pets with the “ideal” percentages, it is evident that the percentages of analysis does not end the story about the value of pet food. I was convinced then, as I now know that food can not be better than its constituent ingredients. From this idea caught ingredient in pet food industry has acquired a commercial life that distorts and misrepresents the importance of the underlying philosophy of food and proper feeding practices. Is reduced to the health ingredients in a commercial product or not? As contradictory as it may seem, what I just said no, it is not. Here’s why.
Adoption AAFC
The official publication of the Association of American Feed Control Official (AAFC) provides ample space for ingredients that can be used in foodstuffs of animal origin. As I mentioned in my book, The Truth about animal feed, approved ingredients may include *:
Dehydrated Garbage
without drying the waste products of animals treated
Replacement fiber polyethylene (plastic)
Hydrolyzed feather
hydrolysed hair
flour hydrolysed leather
breeding of poultry by product
tank meat
peanut shells
ground almond shells
(* Association of American Feed Control Officials, 1998 Publications)
Meanwhile, the same regulatory agency prohibits the use of many natural ingredients proven benefits, which can be found readily available for consumption, such as bee pollen, glucosamine, L-carnitine, the spirulina, and many other nutraceuticals. It would be easy to conclude that the reason does not work when it comes to what can or can not be officially used in animal feed.
From the perspective of regulators, which operates from the simplistic idea that the nutritional value of food has to do with percentages, and that no special merit to a particular ingredient. Deny tens of thousands of research articles, which proves that this type of substance and its quality can make all the difference to health. It is also silent about the harmful effects of food processing and the effect of time, light, heat, oxygen and packaging in the nutritional and health aspects.
So legislators are certainly not the place to go to determine how the health of the pet. Their thinking, as long as a food packaging reaches certain percentages, regardless of the ingredients, the manufacturer may require the food is 100% complete. The pet owners then continued food security guaranteed food for thought throughout each meal, while doing the right thing for their pets. This old school nutritional point of view is a common practice in hospitals for humans, and where official dietary feeding the hungry and sick patients metabòlicament a rate of gelatin, instant potatoes, powdered eggs, white flour and oil to reels his letters say that this diet contains the correct proportions of certain nutrients. Hospitals are a good place to go if you want to be sick!
100% complete myth
Consumers are increasingly aware of the value of natural foods. Everyone knows intuitively that the more food is real fresh, healthy foods, the higher the probability that good health results. Unfortunately, people do not apply this same common sense to feed. Instead, buy “100% complete” processed foods, even go to extra thousand and select the “super premium” or “natural” labels, thinking they are doing the best we can. It is a ploy to sell Mentos commercial (100% complete) and their pets that they would never themselves or their family – the same product packaged food at each meal, every day. No processed foods may be “100% complete” because there is a person on the planet that has 100% knowledge of nutrition. The claim is absurd on its face. Understanding this simple principle is more important that any formulation of pet food, regardless of the merits of its ingredients. Everything that follows will begin with this hypothesis, ie, no food should be fed exclusively run no matter what he says, integrity or quality of ingredients.
Genetics is the key
Family pets need food, they are biologically adapted. It’s a matter of context. Like a fish in water to stay healthy, animal, food and natural environment to stay healthy. All children must remain faithful to its design. What could be more obvious or simple? For a carnivore game of genetics is making correct, the fresh carrion and other plant materials, and even some fur and feathers, and the occasional surprise on countless decomposing. Not a pretty picture thought “Fifi” with his bow and pink nail polish to reduce these rates, but only food that is designed to eat. Because its design is to complement the food design (minus the most heinous and unnecessary), are also essential to your health.
Rate of disease
We prefer to eat packaged sterile, steam clean, dry, pieces of starch in the form of a smart xuleta, but we must not deceive ourselves that is not a pet food is designed. . . . despite allegations of ingredients on the label that believes food is the restaurant five stars. The pets can tolerate these foods for a while, but ultimately, nature calls the account. The price to pay is the loss of health in terms of susceptibility to infections, dental disease, premature aging, obesity, heart disease and organ, diabetes, cancer, arthritis and other cruel and painful degenerative illnesses. Because our pets are not the rigors of nature, in which he quickly succumbed to the conditions and put an end to their misery, they languish in our housing and veterinary care, which usually is not heal, but only treat the symptoms and prolong the time of suffering. The disorder begins with how to feed our pets, not food ingredients in an apparent 100% complete companion.
The perfect food
What is the solution? It’s easy and something I’ve been preaching for the past 25 years. Animals return to their roots to the environment. Need – every day – interesting activity, fresh air, clean water, retozar in nature, love and food closest to how you are in the nature as possible. Fresh, whole natural foods that are suitable for a carnivorous and fed on black is as good as it can get. A little less than a commitment. Transaction, especially if health is the goal. (The same principle applies to you and your family.) To receive the packaged foods, as close as possible to the goal requires that the right to start thinking about food (described above) and experience to designing and producing these foods.
Enter speculators
The elements of these principles (often distorted or misunderstood) has been adopted by an endless series of pet food entrepreneurs. The madness of low-fat to a low fat pet food. The craze led to high fiber foods high fiber PET. A no corn, wheat or soy “madness not had any corn, wheat or soybeans for feed. The “Omega 3″ crazy animal feed led to fish oil. The “black” madness brought the animals supposedly offers variety. The “four food groups” madness took four together in one package. The “premium” craze has resulted in premiums pet food frozen. The list is endless and the race for pet owners in the U.S. dollar is at a peak.
One can only feel sympathy for the owner of a pet in question, since walking in the variety of pet food available from the gondolas of pet food. Unfortunately, armed only with sounds that have meaning and knowledge of a friend, breeder, veterinarian or a business, decisions are made that not only serve the health of their pets, but can contribute directly to altered immune response and disease.
The first thing consumers should remember is the ideal diet for pets, as described above. No product packaging, regardless of their wild allegations are ever going to equal that. The next best thing is to prepare fresh meals at home. (Contact Wysong for recipes and instruction.) If it is not always possible, so that products should be chosen that is closest to the ideal as possible. (Suggestions below).
Premiums Frozen Pet Food Dangers
At first glance, you might consider the perfect model of forage have described – green, natural, everything – the best food for dogs was one of the first frozen foods for cats and now letters to capture the “premium” craze. I regret to say that some of these vendors even use my books and literature to convince pet owners that their products are frozen on the road. They take pieces of good information and distort it into something that is largely lost the point and consumer deception. Again, these frozen blends exotic ingredients of unknown origin, production and freezing time is undoubtedly the economic or the best option. Can cause moisture and raw, directly dangerous.
[The Case Against First Frozen Pet Foods]

Natural and organic
More closely as it may seem that the second best would be one of many “natural” “organic” and “human-grade powder or canned brands that are now flooding the market. These labels and ingredients of frozen foods began to see direct ridiculous. For example, some typical labels:
Any “pure” vegetable
Organic meat, rabbit, chicken, turkey, goat, lamb, duck, pork
Organic Eggs
Organic Honey
Organic papaya, persimmons, blueberries, oranges, apples, pears,
Organic Yogurt
Organic alfalfa, millet, barley, quinoa and cabbage
Wheat Grass
Ortigas
Bok choy
Kefir Cultured
Hepatic
Capsicum
Watermelon. . . .
Everything but the kitchen sink is in order not to risk losing a customer. . . and it would be if a new myth also appeared on the special health properties of the porcelain. I say that this list is ridiculous, because these ingredients can not be wonderfully nutritious, but because the consumer does not really know what part of the ingredients are put in, in what form is protected from degradation and the formation of toxins and you will see then mathematics has no economic sense. In addition, complex mixtures of food food (cereals, meat, vegetables, fruits, dairy products, etc.) at each meal is a digestive stress. Family pets need a break occasionally and have only one meal of meat, slice of watermelon, or whatever suits your taste, just by your digestive tract can concentrate and can enjoy the taste Real food.
Although the idea of organic farming is excellent use of “organic” to name just for marketing, it is not. Something can be labeled organic to attract customers, but contains only a small percentage of organic matter (see below). Or it could be that the specific organic ingredients may be of low nutritional value – chicken heads, feet and feathers are “organic.” However, even if the food is 100% organic prime rib is not an argument for the exclusive supply of food for pets.
Human Grade
Then there is the requirement of “USDA approved” ingredients “human quality” ingredients and ingredients purchased directly from the meat counter at the supermarket. Again, at first sight – and the superficiality is what vendors like to meet – may seem that these foods have an advantage over others. But these labels only create a perception of quality. People do not believe that food, pets are designed in nature – the set, taking first and carrion – the “human grade” or “USDA approved.” Because something is “human grade” does not mean it is not healthy and nutritious. For example, chicken organs are not “human grade”, but more nutritional value than a chicken breast pure white. The Americans believe that the chicken’s feet would not be suitable for human consumption, but many countries in the Far East enjoy. Furthermore, “human grade beef steaks cause serious nutritional imbalances and diseases of pets, if fed exclusively. Animal food, which creates the perception of surface quality (USDA, human quality, etc.) with the intention of owners get to feed a particular food is not only what is health.
There are also major concerns of declining land resources for food and growing population. It is “human grade” foods should be removed from the mouth of all animals and people of good nutrition is not “human grade” Put the ingredients into the trash?
Think about the human aspect of the conversion of feed intended for “human quality”. Millions of tons of food for domestic animals that occur each year. In case of cows, pigs, sheep, fish, birds and other living creatures are raised and slaughtered for these foods? Or is perfectly good and nutritious products of the transformation of human flesh rather lose? Why the owners of tact and sensitivity and that the producers of pet food and other creatures – which are in themselves can become pets – unnecessarily in a cell factory farm and slaughtered on meat substitute is not available?
Pet Nutrition is a serious health
Pet Nutrition is not about marketing and can make more money quickly. Unfortunately, an ambitious nobleman of pet food in the street can go to a number of manufacturers own brand and have created a new brand. These producers have many formulas to values can be slightly modified to fit the current market trends. Voilà! A new brand of pet food created Mon.
Food for dogs and cats is about pet nutrition, and nutrition is a serious health problem case. There is an implicit ethics that come to market with products that can have serious consequences for health. But ethics is largely absent in the pet food industry. Since the requirement of 100% for all brands of fashion-driven floods that are the shelves, no good health. No less that our organization is to teach people about the principles here. Instead, companies run by people without any real technical food processing, nutrition, literacy and health to do as responsible public health. . . because that is what the public wants to hear, and what sells. Who cares if the producers can really understand or apply the principles of sound. Facade markets and sells the game. The ingredients are important, true, but no less important than the experience and the principles of producer who is choosing them, the preparation, storage, processing and packaging them. Consumers give a lot of confidence that indescribable processed seeds are what consumers are induced into error by making him believe they are. Many slip can occur between cup and lip. There are many leaves that may occur between requirements cup commercial, and ending on the lips of the cup feeding.
Blame consumers
Consumers are not blameless in this unfortunate diet – constant feeding stuffs produced – approach to pet nutrition. They want everything easy and cheap. They do not want to learn or are forced to consume too much work and want something simple for basic decisions, such as: corn, wheat and soy is bad “or” USDA approved “or” human grade “or” Organic is good. ” They also want something for nothing and think they can get into food for pets. The first option people want meat, organic and fresh food, all wrapped in an orderly easy opening, easy pouring package, hopefully for 50 cents a pound. They can even pay $ 1, or slightly more if you can convince the manufacturer about its product is spectacular, or the amount of cancer, if their pets will choose another brand.
Doing the math
Now when I go to the supermarket or health food store and find these ingredients in pure form and unprocessed, fresh, packaged, I see nothing to $ 1 a pound, let alone 50 cents. Part of the organic meat is more than $ 15 a pound! Something Afoul’s. But people do not just put two and two together. As a producer can buy these expensive ingredients (since they take audiences to believe they do), their transport to the degree of their “human” paint factory, mix, press, retort, freezing, packaging, ship, advertise and pay vendors and strong margins for distributors, agents and distributors and then sells them for less than the retail price of premium naked? They can not. So, naturally produced animal is making these claims are misleading (to say the least). They can have filet mignon and caviar organic foods, but it would be a little indifferent at best. Consumers must do math and get realistic in their expectations.
The products are bad?
In the treatment of human food, there are thousands of tons of products that can not be sold to people. Does that make useless or worse? No, these products may include cuts, offal, organs, bones, cartilage and other things that people do not want. If these elements very nutritious buried in a landfill? As I mentioned earlier, while the Earth’s resources continue to decline and people are dying of hunger around the world, we feed our pets only “human grade” and let the food is perfectly edible – and sometimes even more nutritious – products go to waste? How is it conscionable or justifiable, either for consumers or producers?
Roadkill and killed animals
This shift to “human quality” food for dogs and cats is due in part to a series of myths that have stronger legs than they deserve. Lore has spread in the market this road kill and be killed animals used in animal feed. I have never seen evidence of this outrageous statement, and after twenty years researching suppliers of ingredients that I have never found such a supplier. However fantastic myths easily lives and even more astounding life they have. Intel.lectualment lazy way, and behind in so much misery. Surface is sloppy thinking that leads to racism, sexism, religious persecution and war. People want to believe that the world is deeply divided into right-wrong, good-bad, black and white. The mercadològica are exploiting is trying to create these distinctions clear to consumers with ease of access: human quality = good / all others = bad, right = organic / all others = false; white rice = / = maize and corn black. Distinction as simplistic and naive, is quick and easy for advertisers and merchants to use to influence public opinion. But without energy and using common sense would never believe that something as complex as health may never come or not that is a bag of processed foods. The reality is not black or white, is in grayscale. Gray requires some knowledge, insight and discernment before making a decision. It’s a little more work, but is that all we do if the world ever to be a better place and more people and pet health is improving.
Digestive fluids, eating coconuts and other
Many manufacturers try to sell their products, alleging that do not contain “digest” or “meals”. The idea is that these ingredients are bad, and consumers should keep away from all products that contain them. A summary is a product that is created when enzymes break down food. When you eat a meal and is exposed to acids and enzymes in the digestive tract to make a “summary”. Fermented (digested) food produced from soy, dairy products and vegetables are among the most nutritious foods. Some peoples ‘primitive’ bury food in the soil to rot and fermentation, and then subsequently to identify eating and nutritional benefits with great benefit. The scavengers survive and survive well in fermentation, putrefaction and digest food. The meat, organs and ornaments can also be digested in deposits to create both liquid and powder extracts from commercial feed. Be predigerits are highly concentrated and effective nutrition. If we listen to the taste buds of animals would vote “yes” pairs, as are very tasty.
A “food” is food that has been ground, mixed and dried. Meals are often used in animal feed because they are stable, easy to transport, store and handle. Nuts animal itself is ground, mixed and dry meals. So it is interesting dilemma for those who advertise their products as without food. Respect for the ingredients of pet food to go, meals, and summaries can be justified. There are degrees of quality, there is another ingredient. There may be better options such as using fresh ingredients from the whole, but focus on finding a product or undigested foods and nutrition is not only the key to health. Administered in sufficient doses, can be nothing dangerous and toxic, even water and oxygen. A healthy diet is a mixture of the variety, form, preparation, quality, balance. . . trafficking and therefore no fear or sensationalism.
4D
There is concern about the dead, dead, fallen (disability) or septicemia (4D) of animals used in animal feed. Ingredients Apart from the fact that this does not mean “sound” as a healthy food, there are concerns that these animals may contain substances or infectious pathogens (though it may be true for “human grade” too). My point here is not defending the meat unhealthy or dangerous, but to give some perspective. As you are learning in this study, almost all marketing angles used by food producers is more than the sensationalism is the substance. What does a carnivore eat in nature? Their diets are just as strong, stronger, faster, healthier and more volatile exchange? Of course not. They are looking for and mainly feed on dead, dead, sick and low – 4D making. This is exactly what people are alone in nature, survival, is also searching. Also consider this, one of the largest markets for meat 4D greyhound racing. Not only is 4D fed beef, which are fed first. Kennels who earn their living in the sports performance of their animals, fodder, food, sick of their superstars or not producing results? These owners can buy commercial mixture containing 4D meat at the same price or less, but do not. There’s a reason.
If a cow breaks a leg in the area is low and must be killed and taken to a landfill? What about a chicken who was hit in the line of treatment? If all are taken to a landfill because it can be called “4D”, “products” or “lack of human qualities?” What are the ethics of getting rid of a creature that is essentially sacrificed his life for food? Not as does nature. Nothing is wasted.
But the guilt of alleged “4D” is a great marketing fodder and boxes of soap to some people who need a reason or a conspiracy to promote. People do not like the sound of “4D”, “products” or “lack of human quality.” The producers know this and play it. So begins the race to see who will reach the market first with the “USDA approved” and “human grade” pet food labels. If you really have nothing to do with health is not important. The perception and propaganda benefit.
(To put this fear mongering in perspective, consider that over 500,000 persons [relative number of animals], which represents more than five a day from our large jet liners full die each year due to modern medical measures [the medicines doctors, hospitals]. However, we feel more fear and anxiety about food ingredients Boogeyman rarely, if anything, to get a life. Guess.

To repeat, nothing herein is intended to reduce the need for safe and nutritious ingredients for animals and humans. However, currently fashionable word circulating here – “human grade”, “4D”, “products”, “USDA approved” and the like – do not give the correct decision criteria and only mislead consumers to think about health and good nutrition is only one sentence in a package away.
What to do
How worried pet owners who want to cut through all the marketing clutter to negotiate a path? It is very simple, if the basic principles that I discussed previously taken into account. Here are tips on how to implement a smart health and nutrition of philosophy:
1. Learn how to eat fresh foods. Substitute these honest with processed foods fed in variety and complete these foods with well-designed dietary supplements.
[How to apologize to your pet]
http://www. Wysong. / Pdfs net / apology_pamphlet. pdf
Do not be paranoid about all the special balance of nutrients and ingredients and Don’ts. Rotate varies, sometimes rapidly and Zap. Confidence in nature, not the marketing hype. (Use the same principles you and your family if you want optimum health, as well.)
2. If you need a human or organic food for your pet, go buy the real thing in the grocery meat counter. Bring it home, cut and give it first. Freeze the rest in small portions, flour and used for subsequent meals. Do not punish brain and go buy “organic” or “human grade” pet food only costs that may contain evidence of the real thing. The producers of pet food can be smart marketing, but are not magicians. One thing is certain, not buy the ingredients and then sell them for less than what you buy.
3. Use properly designed dietary supplements such as Call of the Wild Wild Things ™ ™ balance and raw foods and help ensure your safety unless you are expert in preparing this meal.
4. The best raw, processed foods in the supermarket fresh food alternative to thermal processing is not dry food – no frozen foods first. (See Wysong Archetype ™.) Use this food for meals and as a superior alternative to dress in heat processed foods.
5. Check the credentials of the person who makes the decisions in the company, products you purchase. Do not go to a plumber for brain surgery and not expect serious health products from business people.
6. Far from brands that are pushing a particular hot button as “natural,” products are not for “exotic ingredients (quail, watermelon, persimmons, etc.), organic, omega-3, rice and style. Although these features may cause something of value to a lunch (if you put in anything other than “squeezing” levels) are not an end in itself, and whether packaged food is fed only to cause more damage than good.
7. Far from brands by Monge. For example, no corn or wheat scam – “buy our brand, has no corn or wheat.” (Just to say that a product is “no,” something that is enough to scare the lack of thought for the fire, which is just the ingredient I Boogeyman. Speculators know this and play in the teeth of animals company). The truth is, the kernels are dry foods seeds because they contain starches that are necessary for the extrusion process. The starch is a starch or so, whether it is corn, wheat, rice, potatoes, millet or whatever. The major also help reduce the cost of pet food. Contribute some nutrition, but a sharp meat-based pet foods for most of the nutritional value comes from the flesh.
